The degenerative intervertebral disc problem of the spine may cause lower back pain. There is sometimes a change from disc to degenerative disc disease to disk. This condition is estimated to affect 30% of the age group of 30 to 50 years old. As the disc degenerates, the vertebrae make more intimate contact and cause pain. Massage chairs are well used to alleviate some of the pain associated with degenerative disc disease.
Why does pain occur? Let's see the structure of the spinal column. The spinal column is a vertical row of small round bones interconnected. The interconnect provides the ability for the spine to articulate or flex. Down with these rounded bones or spines moving the spinal cord.
The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that move from the base of the brain to the rest of the body. The spine itself protects the spinal cord and gives the body flexibility and mobility. There is a soft disc between each vertebra. These soft discs are there to buffer the movement between the bones so that the bones do not rub against each other directly.
Certain activities such as abrasion, laceration, aging, misuse such as smoking cause the degeneration of the spinal column. The intervertebral disc is a structure susceptible to degenerative changes. The challenge is to detect these changes early. Biochemical and structural changes can occur long before direct visual detection by imaging can be noticed.
Therefore, deterioration may occur. Degradation of soft tissues separating vertebrae has been reported to cause dull or sharp pain. Massage therapy is used in conjunction with chiropractic adjustment to help reduce friction. This also helps to alleviate the associated pain between degenerated disks.
In general, pain associated with degenerative disc disease is low back pain. The spinal column carries much of the body's weight. When activity starts, physical stress is dispersed throughout the backbone. Normally, the back experiences more stress and fatigue. Degeneration of the intervertebral disc, the incidence of inflammation is high.
Massage chair therapy has been used in two different forms to relieve pain associated with degenerative disc disease. An acupressure or rolling type massage is used to relieve the pressure between the discs. Massage of kneading and tapping is used to loosen the muscles in and around the column.
Shiatsu massage exerts pressure on each vertebra of the spinal column. This small movement helps to stretch out the soft tissue and muscles around the disc. Rolling the spine with the disc up and down. This helps to reduce the pressure and non-uniform stress of the spinal column.
Kneading and tapping style massage generally loosen the muscles and connective tissue around the spine and back. Pressure tends to concentrate in several areas of the column column in most activities. Loosening these muscles helps to readjust the pressure and make better redistribution.
Massage chair therapy has been successful in certain degenerative disc disease cases, but in order to find a suitable treatment for your situation, you need to consult a health care provider. Massage chair therapy is a convenient and practical alternative for using massager. The convenience and access to these important pain relief treatments are essential.
The massage chair provides effective massage treatment and reduces back pain. Many massage chairs incorporate hyperthermia, music and towing systems and offer a variety of treatments. All of these can be used safely at your home. Imagine you can ease the pain you need whenever you want!
